Custom stair runners?

[Anonymous]

Anyone have recommendations for where to purchase/who can install custom stair runners?

We had one made at a carpet store. Karastan, as I recall. Many years ago in NJ. Turned out great. Had a bigger piece made for the bottom landing.

Following. Op, please update what you got and cost. I just ordered some Anderson tuftex samples but that seems so rough like a mat. Pricey too.

I got samples of this kind:

I’ve had the tuftex in two houses. It’s pretty good. Stair carpet gets a ton of wear. You also do not want slippery. Keep in mind they will put a pad under it, cut to fit each tread, so it will feel different than walking on the sample.

I’d estimate cost at around $2500 for a standard staircase. Think about whether you want to paint risers also.

Is the Tuftex better than a builder grade carpet for stairs and hallway? We have builder grade in hallway and Shaw Find your comfort 2 in other areas like basement and basement stairs (waterfall install).

The Shaw carpet we have feels so soft and nice and I guess I am worried if this tuftex would be a bad choice for stairs to upper level and upstairs hallway.
